Rip off

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2005)

I have seen this movie and it is a blatant rip off of the book "The Experiment" by John Darnton. I called the company who made the movie and asked them why John wasn't credited for the script. They claim the movie isn't an adaptation of Darnton's book and that they bought an original script. Anyone who has read the book and seen the movie will immediately recognise that it is the same thing with some very minor changes. Whoever sold this script to Warner Brothers and to DreamWorks pictures has obviously read Darnton's book and should be ashamed of themselves. This is the worst rip off since Milli Vanilli. I think John should be paid for turning his book into a movie. I hope he sues them. I bet if Ewan McGregor had known he wouldn't have agreed to do the movie. It is a shame because the book was excellent and the movie would have been better if Darnton had had input into the process of making his book into a movie
